Herbal Remedies For Asthma

Herbal remedies for asthma range from creating cleaner air to specific measurements of herbal tea. Depending on personal preference and time a person is willing to spend on developing a cure, natural cures for asthma may reduce or eliminate the need for medication. Proper air flow, and purification can completely change the life of an asthmatic as well as proper cleaning and avoiding irritable products. Avoid items such as rugs, curtains, foam rubber, and candles. All of these items irritate the disease possibly to the point of a life-threatening attack.



The environment in which people with respiratory problems live in can make the situation either more difficult or more comfortable to live it. The more allergens floating around in the main environment a person lives in the better the chance of an attack. The bedroom is the most important part of the house to make allergy safe. This is accomplished by having a clean, non-allergenic mattress as well as cotton bedding and a non-allergenic mattress cover; All of which gets washed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in mild, but effective detergent in order to ensure the best environment. Natural cures for asthma also include not allowing pets in the sleeping area even during the day. In addition to these precautionary measures, a quality air purifier will eliminate most if not all the remaining allergens creating the safest place in the house for an asthmatic.



The rest of the house, including the family car, should be healthy for an asthmatic as well. It is impossible to create a perfect environment everywhere unless everyone living in the house is responsible and can keep up with the tremendously demanding efforts of creating a germ-free haven for someone with respiratory problems. However, inspecting the house for openings, which allow pests or dirt to enter the home, will determine some of the most threatening culprits to asthmatic attacks. Herbal remedies for asthma include installing humidifiers and dehumidifiers where needed in the house. It is not uncommon for a house to have both running at the same time. Anti-fungal solutions can be added to a humidifier to help kill airborne bacteria. Likewise, a clean, dry basement will reduce the introduction of molds and moisture to the main living environment. Not all natural cures for asthma include herbs or medicine, but rather smarter choices in living arrangements and maintenance. Air tight newer built homes keep the heat in, but do not offer as good of air flow as older builds that offer drafts allowing circulation. This circulation reduces the chances of mold and other bacteria to grow anywhere in the house. "And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean." (Leviticus 13:6)



Flu shots, healthy choices in food, and regular consumption of herbal tea are all ways to reduce and avoid respiratory distress. Every year the health department as well as many doctor offices offers flu shots to as many people as they have shots for. Infants and the elderly are the first to get priority; 90% of colds and other respiratory infections are contracted inside the house. Some schools offer support and plans to reduce the affects of respiratory absenteeism. Asthmatic children are absent the most throughout the year due to the elevated effects of respiratory disease. Having clear communication with teachers and other parents about asthma and allergies will reduce the onset of problems as well as create a support system within a child's normal environment. In addition, make sure a scarf is worn around the mouth during colder weather to reduce the shock of warm to cold air when going outside. This simple tactic can greatly reduce the effects of asthmatic attacks and allow the respiratory and immune systems to build strength during these months. Other herbal remedies for asthma include Chamomile Tea is used as an antihistamine. Elderberry and hyssop relieves nasal congestion. Ephedra and green tea opens bronchial passages, relieves congestion. Ginger reduces allergic reaction. Licorice root increases mucus production to counter dry cough. Lobelia tincture or capsules in addition to mullein oil and nettle tea help reduce inflammatory reaction and soothe bronchial tissue. Pau d'Arco offers antibiotic, anti-inflammatory effects good for prevention.



Food choices are another way to improve respiratory function as well as decrease the instance of respiratory distress. This includes foods high in magnesium and omega-3 fatty acid. Supplements are available through health food stores are a good place to start adding nutrients to a diet. Changing eating habits can take some time due to habit and cost, but supplements are easy and relatively inexpensive. The key is to find a company offering quality herbal remedies for asthma. The most expensive option is not always the best quality. Careful research and possibly some trial and error will lead anyone to the best personal supplement. Some companies add unnatural additives and fillers to their product to make better profit, therefore not producing a quality product. This statement holds true with food choices as well. Local food co-ops are sometimes the best provider for quality organic foods to ensure the best natural cures for asthma. Changing eating habits is only a good option if the quality of food consumed is high.
